Builder died

The gentlemen that was building my 69 Dart GT passed away expectantly. I hope he is in a better place.

I bought his project from his estate and have no information on the parts he used for the build. It was a 6 cylinder car that he changed the k frame and now it has a 360 cid. He also converted the front to disc brakes and large bolt pattern hubs. I have the new routers he put on but do not have the calibers, pads, master cylinder or the front flex lines.

Any advise on where to start when ordering these new parts. Are Mopar disc brake caliber's interchangeable on most models?

I would like to finish his car to honor his memory but need some help as this is also my first Mopar.

Thanks

If he used stock rotors from a 73-76 A-body then the calipers, pads, hoses, and master from the later A's will work just fine.

Some pics of your spindles would help identify what you have as well as a rotor diameter. My guess is he got a later model donor. So parts for any 73 & up 8 cyl dart should be fine . The trick comes in with , what diameter rear wheel cylinders? Is it the right master cylinder? Manual or power brakes? What proportional valve is fitted? You'll likely have to measure and confirm all these to have everything work together properly. When I did mine, i just ordered everything for a 75 Dart Sport with manual brakes. Since that was the donor. I also fitted the prop valve from the same vehicle.

^Yeah shoot us some pics of the spindle, master cylinder, Proportioning valve, and anything else you think we need to see.

Some use parts from M and F bodies as well.

Start by examining your motor mounts on the K frame. Flat "pillow" mounts means (67- oddball idler arm) 68--72 K. The round "spool" mounts means 73 / later K. Now, other than the 67 K, any year K can accept any year parts 68--later, with the exception of motor mounts

As above determine if it's stock factory 73/ later brakes. Post some photos

STEERING LINKAGE

Now the steering linkage is a "trick." Regardless of all other parts, there are 4 pieces which must be matched.........

There are two sizes of the spline on the steering box, and this determines which pitman arm you use. And.........the idler and the center link must match THOSE

So steering box, pitman arm, idler arm, and center link all must "match." You can put the 73/ later group into an earlier car, or you can put the earlier group into a later car. Has nothing to do with the REST of the front suspension, nor the K member

Here's a couple of links to the center link "thing"

Notice that the pitman / idler studs point "up" in one group and "down" in the other

===================================

SWAY BAR. If you have or want a sway bar, there are basically 3 situations

1....Up through 72, which mounts below the K member. These require different tabs on the LCA's than 2 below

2....73 and later sway which goes inside the middle of the later K member. As above these require the correct LCA tabs

3....Aftermarket / third party which are usually sold as a kit with hardware to suit whatever they require.

Casting numbers from the calipers, rotors,and the rest of what you have ,can help as well.

Thanks every one. With your help and local parts supplier I have the right parts. Used 73-76 Dart as a reference.
